NBA 05/18 Premium Play: Boston Celtics @ Philadelphia 76ers


NBA - 521 Boston Celtics @ 522 Philadelphia 76ers

Projected line: 169 points | Philadelphia by 8 points

***DOUBLE DIME PLAY***

Boston changed their approach for Game 3, as they stopped being the team who hangs around for the first 3 quarters of the game and then tries to close the deal in the 4th quarter and became an ultra aggressive team since the start. They attacked the rim, they created shots off the drible and they went to the FT line. Philadelphia was completely caught off guard by their approach and they were unprepared to respond to such changes. However, these changes from Boston in Game 3 will leave a huge mark on them today, as I don't believe that with just 1 day off to rest that they'll have the same energy today and obviously the Sixers will also be more prepared.

With Game 5 being just next Monday and in Boston, I believe the Celtics will have a great spot for that game and I wouldn't be surprised if they save some energy for that game, as they have recovered the home court advantage once again. Therefore, I expect a good and comfortable win for Philadelphia today and so, I'll take them in a Double Dime Play. I also expect this game to be slow paced and with both teams being able to make the defensive adjustments they needed to do for tonight and so, I'll also take the Under in here in a Single Dime Play.

Pick: 4 units (Double Dime Play) on 522 Philadelphia 76ers (-2) @ -110 / 1.91 on Bookmaker
Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 521/522 Under 173,5 @ -110 / 1.91 on Bookmaker
